Thoughts on the Parable of the Talents

"His master replied, 'Well done, good and faithful servant! You have been faithful with a few things; I will put you in charge of many things. Come and share your master's happiness!' Matt 25:21

The mid term exam is upon us and I wish to encourage all those facing the coming test to consider the Parable of the Talents.

God has given all that we have. In fact God has given us far more than we realised. We constantly discover that we have hidden talents as we explore and expanded our horizons. As students, we should be expanding and extending our potential in acquiring knowledge. As it is written in Proverb 18: 15 "The heart of the prudent gets knowledge; and the ear of the wise seeks knowledge.", our responsibilities as students is to acquire knowledge while at the same time seek the wisdom from God to apply the knowledge. The question is this: Have we optimised our God given talents in our studies?

It is important to remember that while we glorify His name through our successes in sports, arts and music, we also bear testimony to God through excellence in our studies.

May God bless you with wisdom and dilligence as you prepare for your exam.
